Re: Max, copying UVs
Just rebaked one actual work piece (very similar to the test) without the extra loops - amazingly no distortion! If anyone has an idea what may have caused that, please let me know so I can avoid it in the future. It looked like watching straight down on an object in perspective view rather than orthogonal view. -
Re: Questions about how to create Hand Painted Game Assets
You can somewhat circumvent this by making sure the full area of the stroke is the size of your view. So zoom in enough to have the full stroke precisely in the view. That'll force you to make a shoulder movement, if not elbow. The issue is more where you stick your device. if it's on the edge, you will not have enough… -
Re: Colt 1911
I think it's pretty hard and/or foolish to try to give you advice here when we don't have the full picture. Is this a first-person-view model for an FPS? Is it gonna be viewed third-person only ala GTA? Is it a decoration/prop? The intended usage is gonna determine what you should be aiming for, and you haven't told us… -
Re: Decent IPS monitor
A texture artist is going to be balancing colors for a game that's going to be viewed on consumer displays. A movie or printed material is going to be viewed or printed using professional equipment.

Re: Question about uv in Maya
The left image is Smooth Mesh Preview in UV shaded view. In my case there's no red in the UV. And if you are talking about UV Distortion view (white shading preview) then yes, smooth mesh preview shows a little bit of distortion but that can be fixed by smoothing the mesh by a level. I would not advice you to do UV in 3… -
Re: Artifacts in baking NORMAL MAPS.
A. View your models with normal map applied, looking at your normal map in photoshop will not tell you anything. View it in your target engine as well. B. Apply smoothing groups to each uv island, this will likely help. Textools has a feature to do this automatically. More on that topic here:… -
Re: SUPERMAN
looks pretty good chris... the nose looks a little small in the front and 3/4 view though.. maybe consider widening it a little. It might be the jawbones juts out too a little far in the front view too and that's whats throwing it off.. nice idealized feature though, I'm looking forward to seeing how you treat the hair!… -
Re: New site is up
Hey Sage, Overall the site works. I did have a problem with the rollover to wireframe on the Adat. As it was loading I rolled over it and it never went back to the texture view. The only other feedback I have is I would rather have a button to toggle from wireframe to texture view. Not just the whole image causing it to… -
